Sprawling suburb with eclecting range of homes and local businesses

Named the second-best place to live in Southern New Jersey just a few years ago, Haddon Heights is a suburban borough about 8 miles from Philadelphia. Cradled by White Horse Pike, Black Horse Pike and Interstate 295, Haddon Heights has been a well-connected community for over a century, thanks to the opening of a passenger rail station in the late 19th century. Neighborhood businesses and its eclectic spread of homes are what makes Haddon Heights unique, according to local Keller Williams Realtor Eliza Babcock, who says, “What really sets it apart is how community-oriented it is; everything is right there.” It’s the DNA of the community, which New Jersey Monthly in 2011 declared the surrounding town the second-best town this side of the Delaware River.

American architectural history in Haddon Heights residential landscape

“The entire range of American architectural style can be found here,” says local Realtor Eliza Babcock. Period architecture including Queen Anne, Tudor Revival, American Foursquare and Craftsman Bungalows are typical throughout the community, with many former residences around Atlantic Avenue and Station Avenue – the commercial and forested heart of Haddon Heights -- converted for office use. Haddon Heights’s residences often feature handcrafted and artisanal design elements, such as hardwood floors, wooden staircases, stained glass windows and crown molding in high-ceiling foyers and living rooms. Homebuyers looking to save on space can buy a single-story Cape Cod or Rambler for between $250,000 and $400,000. On the higher end, the owners of a 3,761-square-foot Victorian home with 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms listed the property for $1.1 million in early 2023.

High marks at Haddon Heights school

Unlike some neighboring boroughs, public school students in Haddon Heights generally remain in the same school district from kindergarten to 12th grade. Students begin their academic careers at Glenview Avenue School from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade, then move on to Haddon Heights High School. Both schools have at least an overall B-plus rating, according to Niche. Many of the Haddon Heights High School athletic teams have celebrated statewide triumphs in recent decades, but the marching band has remained consistently successful in regional and national competitions. In November 2022, the band won its first-ever Cavalcade of Bands national competition under the direction of director Rob Reininger, who had led the band for more than 50 years.

Acres of public park space

The community’s 67 acres of public outdoor space are spread across three main parks. Next to the town’s Community Center used for meetings, indoor sports and other activities, the Barr Complex Zone near downtown includes multiple sports fields that host youth and adult sports leagues. Some leagues play at Haddon’s Devon Avenue Park, which includes five tennis courts and additional all-purpose fields. Visitors can trek along the Little Timber Creek Nature Trail in the Haddon Lake Park Zone, ideal for birdwatching and jogging by the creek.

Station Avenue deli markets and tea houses

Local markets and vendors can be found all along major thoroughfares such as Station Avenue. John’s Friendly Market on Station Avenue is known for ham-and-cheese hoagies and other deli meals, along with a range of fresh produce and other items to make dinner at home. Locals can cozy up with a good book at the Haddon Library while next door, customers enjoy towers of scones or macarons inside Jane’s Tea House.

Locals depend on cars and have access to commuter train lines

While there’s much to do within Haddon Heights and its neighboring boroughs, residents are also short distances from suburban shopping centers with big box stores and supermarket chains. Having a car is likely necessary for most considering Haddon Heights for a move, but its access to public transit and proximity to PATCO commuter train line station in Westmont or Haddonfield gives a few other commuting options for folks working in Philadelphia.
